wow. i would have typed more, but that literally took the words right out of my mouth. ick!

Wow, that's an... interesting... combination - sneakers and espadrille? What does one wear with them?

Not so fab.

Perplexing, really.

I disagree! I think Crocs are still uglier. But these are still very, very ugly.

Nothing beats out the reptile shoes though.

Nasty that's all I have to say! Could be worse, you should see what my 15 yr old bought at the mall today....good thing it was babysitting $$$!!!

LOL - Maya, my hubby has those reptile shoes. My BIL gave them to him for a xmas present. I think they are for surfing or mountain climbing? DH doesn't do either of those sports, but he does wear them around the house and out in the yard to do yardwork or for boating/swimming where there are rocks. He says they are comfortable - just a little difficult to get on to your feet.

Also, apparently they are great for people with bunions!!! If your bunions are really bad, bad enough that your big toe points inward towards your second toe, wearing these shoes will realign them into a healthier position.

Ha! That shoe reminds me of those booties you wear when you break your foot or have foot surgery. I've seen some pretty ugly shoes lately...must be a new trend.

Shiny, I took that picture when I was at a museum. I don't care if you have bunions or not. Those shoes are definitely NOT museum shoes. Unfortunately everyone in Bostom seemed to be wearing either Crocs, flipflops, or some other form of ugly sandal. Or reptile shoes.

Ugly shoes always seem to be a trend. Though the more I shop for shoes, the less critical I think I can be. There are some people in the world who will just never find comfortable shoes (I know because I am one of them!). My temporary solution is to just wear my goofy Saucony sneakers (regardless of my outfit) and change into pretty shoes when I'm indoors. That doesn't help when I'm out with friends, but I guess that means I'll just be sticking to Cons in those situations (which is a shame because it's one of those times where I want to dress a little nicer). That's my solution, but for others, the solution might just be to bite the bullet and wear ugly shoes. I'm going to try out some shoes that Angie recommended to me, but I am not holding my breath at this point. I have been looking for comfortable, attractive walking shoes for summer since college. There is no reason for me to expect to find them now. I'm starting to sympathize with the ugly show crowd (though I think they can still do better than Crocs).

That is one ugly shoe! It also looks like it's poorly constructed, especially when you all at it from the back angle. The contrasting stitching is noticably off.

Ugly shoes make me laugh! That is my first reaction. So, these are definitely ugly cause I did laugh when I saw them first. God bless ugly shoes for injecting some fun into my life!

Maya, I remember your post with the reptile shoes! Hands down I've never had any shoes make me laugh harder, so I think they are the ugliest I've ever seen. I'm so glad I've never seen anyone in real life wearing them because I would feel so bad if I started laughing. 8-D

Wow, what is this shoe trying to be? A patent leather espadrille with the silhouette of an Ugg boot? It's so ugly that it's fascinating!

Muequita, I laugh at ugly shoes too! Perhaps there should be a thread dedicated entirely to ugly shoes. I often come across some hideous shoes wile I'm searching for non-ugly ones.

I can't tell you how hard it was to contain myself when I saw the reptile shoes. I felt bad, but really, what else could I do? They were just so bizarre that I couldn't tear my gaze away. At least the girl who was wearing them didn't seem to notice.

Wow those are... amazing? And not in a good way. I wonder if the designer made them as a practical joke, just to see if the company would actually produce them.
